Im curious why everyone chose a 05 Stang, and is thier a story behind your choice?
For me Mustangs arent cars, they are members of the family. My folks bought a Lime Green coupe in 67. 289, PS, PB, A/C, AT. A member of my family has owned a Mustang ever since. My 05 is my 4th one. I had a 65, 81, and 88. All V8s, all Manuals,this is my first 6 and my first AT.
My dad was in the Air Force, so we got transfered every 2 years. Mostly in the south and west, I cant tell you how many times I have travered I-10 and I-40 in that 67 Mustang, I saw America from the back seat of that car.
In 81 they decided to sell the Mustang because they wanted a truck. They offered it to me, but I had a new 81, My younger brother had a 68 coupe so he didnt want it either. They drove down to the Chevy lot to look at trucks. A guy asked them if they wanted to trade the Mustang, my dad said no, he was going to sell it outright. They got to talking about the car, it was a one owner, never wrecked, never modded, never abused, it was in mint condition. The guy they were taking to turns out to be the owner of the lot. He wanted the Mustang for his sons HS graduation present. He offered my dad any 2wd 1/2 ton Chevy truck on the lot for the car. So my folks got a new 81 Silverado pickup for the Mustang. My dad paid $3400 for the car new in 67. 14 years use, and a new truck, that was a great $3400 investment.
I just retired from the military, my 05 is my retirement gift, I plan on keeping it for many years. I garage it and use my 88 GMC truck as my daily driver. A few appearence mods and thats all Im doing. For me detailing and spending time working on my car is just as much fun as driving it. I always wanted another 67, but Ive gotten lazy, I like the comforts of the newer ponys, so Im sticking with my 05.
